6Al4V Titanium Plate | Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V Plate
6Al4V titanium plate, also known as Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V plate, for machined components, aerospace-related parts, fixtures, structural plates and industrial equipment. RFQs should specify ASTM B265 or AMS requirement, thickness, width, length, tolerance, surface condition and documents.

Acceptance is by the ordered standard. Values are typical references only. Final chemical composition, mechanical properties, inspection scope and documentation are confirmed by the purchase specification and mill test certificate.
6Al4V Titanium Plate for Machined and Structural Components
The Beiyu Titanium supply ranges publish Grade 5 thin plate and sheet at 0.5 mm to 3 mm thick in widths to 1500 mm, and plate at 3 mm to 70 mm thick in widths to 2500 mm and lengths to 6000 mm; a section that outgrows the 70 mm plate ceiling is quoted as forged block from 50 to 600 mm. ASTM B265 is the ordering reference for the rolled rows, and the ordered combination is confirmed at quotation against the drawing and purchase order.
6Al4V titanium plate is the common name for Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V plate. It is used when a buyer needs higher strength than commercially pure titanium while keeping titanium's low density and corrosion resistance. Typical purchasing requests involve machined plates, fixtures, aerospace-related parts, marine hardware, medical-related tooling, brackets and drawing-based industrial components.
The material should be specified by grade, standard, dimensions, condition and acceptance requirement. Do not rely only on "6Al4V plate" when the drawing requires a specific ASTM, AMS or customer specification.
Grade and Standard
- Material: Grade 5 titanium / Ti-6Al-4V / UNS R56400.
- Common plate reference: ASTM B265 when specified for titanium sheet and plate.
- AMS reference: AMS 4911 may be required for aerospace-related Grade 5 sheet or plate when stated by the buyer.
- Condition: annealed or project-specified heat treatment condition.
Dimensions and Surface Condition
RFQs should include thickness, width, length, tolerance, flatness, surface condition and whether the plate is supplied as full plate, cut-to-size blank or machined plate. Surface condition may include hot rolled, cold rolled, pickled, blasted, polished or machined surface depending on thickness and final use.
Applications
6Al4V titanium plate is used for CNC machined components, tooling plates, aerospace-related brackets, marine parts, medical-related fixtures, high-strength industrial plates and custom drawing-based parts. If the plate will be welded, formed or heat treated after delivery, include those process notes in the RFQ.
Inspection and Documentation
Documentation may include MTC, heat number traceability, chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional inspection and EN10204 3.1 certificate when required. Ultrasonic testing, PMI testing or third-party inspection should be stated before quotation if it is part of the acceptance criteria.
Grade 5 Sheet and Plate Specification Snapshot
| Alloy / grade | Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 (UNS R56400) |
|---|---|
| Specification | ASTM B265 for titanium sheet and plate; AMS 4911 when the buyer drawing requires aerospace flat product. |
| Thickness route | Sheet-gauge 6-4 material and thicker plate should be separated on the RFQ; include thickness, width, length and flatness for each line. |
| Surface | Bright, pickled, polished, blasted or machined surface by order requirement. |
| Certificate | EN 10204 3.1 MTC with heat-number traceability. |
State whether the RFQ is for sheet-gauge material, plate, or cut-to-size blanks. Grade 5 is the high-strength route where commercially pure forming grades are not enough, but the drawing still controls tolerance, condition and certificate wording.

Packing and RFQ Checklist
Titanium plate should be packed to prevent scratches, bending and mixed-metal contact. Large plates may require pallet or wooden case packing, while cut blanks may need surface separation. Send grade, standard, dimensions, quantity, tolerance, surface finish, certificate requirement and destination country for quotation.
FAQ
Is 6Al4V the same as Grade 5 titanium?
Yes. 6Al4V usually refers to Grade 5 titanium alloy, also written as Ti-6Al-4V or UNS R56400.
Which standard should be used for Grade 5 titanium plate?
ASTM B265 is a common reference for titanium sheet and plate. AMS 4911 may be required when the buyer's drawing or aerospace-related specification calls for it.
What should be included in a 6Al4V plate inquiry?
Provide grade, standard, thickness, width, length, tolerance, flatness, surface condition, quantity and required documents.
Plate Selection Notes
For 6Al4V plate, the buyer should define whether the order is for machining, structural use, fixture making or further forming. A machined component may need extra thickness allowance and cleaner surface condition, while a structural blank may focus more on flatness, cut size and traceability. If the drawing includes tight flatness, parallelism or surface roughness, include those notes before quotation.
Grade 5 plate should not be substituted with commercially pure titanium or another titanium alloy without engineering approval. If the project references AMS 4911, ASTM B265 or an internal material specification, send the exact note from the drawing so chemical, mechanical and inspection requirements are aligned.

Specification detail with sources
6Al4V titanium plate is defined in ASTM B265 by an aluminum window of 5.5 to 6.75 percent and a vanadium window of 3.5 to 4.5 percent, the two phase chemistry that carries its strength. The specification sets elongation at just 10 percent minimum for annealed plate, half of the 20 percent that Grade 2 flat product requires in the same standard, which is one reason 6Al4V plate is commonly machined to shape rather than formed.
6Al4V titanium plate requirements that outgrow rolling are moved by Beiyu Titanium onto its forging program: sections beyond the 70 mm plate ceiling are quoted as forged block from 50 to 600 mm, keeping plate and block inside one supply review. Beiyu adds ultrasonic examination on heavy 6Al4V sections when the order names it, under a mill flow in which nondestructive testing is applied to part of the product range by agreement.

Inspection and documentation
The inspection scope is set by the order rather than assumed. State which examinations are required, to which acceptance standard and class, and at which stage they are performed, because those four fields are what make an inspection line objectively verifiable during receiving inspection.
